Good question. Would also appreciate any answers. In Geneva most of the Creches have huge waiting lists also and impossible to get into. Also they say that they are meant for working mothers when you go to register for them . So if u are not working u dont get priority!! My question is if u cant park your kid somewher how do u look for a job? It is a chicken and egg situation
. Nannies / Baby sitters are equally expensive.

| Hello working mums,
I have been living in Vaud for nearly a year now and am finally looking at working again. My kids are 17 months and 3.5 years old, and the question of having them properly looked after is driving me insane. I'd love to go back to work part-time, but if I do that we'll be ending up losing money... Even if I do go back full time all the money I will be earning will be eaten up by the childcare!
To make matters worse: My boy will be 4 next year, ready to start the ecole enfantine which amazingly is on only 4 days a week from 9-12. Is the only solution a private school that provides all day care? And who the f*** is going to pay for all of this?!? When we moved here we thought that my husband was on a decent salary, but obviously we greatly underestimated the cost of things here if you want to do things a certain way...
So I am just wondering... if one of you isn't a diplomat/CEO or millionaire, how do you do it?
Any advice is greatly appreciated,
